Wilkes University invites applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor in Modern European history in the Division of Global History & Languages. This new division was created this year to coordinate and expand the teaching of history and languages at Wilkes University and further Wilkes’ commitment to globalization.

The successful candidate is responsible for teaching four courses per semester: one or two courses in his or her expertise, as well as two or three world history survey courses. The candidate should also have a minor field outside of Modern Europe (other than U.S.. history) and be prepared to teach courses in that field. A Ph.D. in History by August 2014 is required and the ideal candidate will have prior teaching experience at the university level. Continued scholarship, advising and university service is expected of all Wilkes History faculty. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Wilkes University is an independent, comprehensive university dedicated to academic excellence in the liberal arts, sciences and selected professional programs. The University has approximately 2000 students at the undergraduate level and over 2000 full time equivalent students at the graduate and first professional levels.
